Possibilities In the UK Real Estate in The Post Brexit Phase

Brexit impact or UK's exit from the EU has an incoherent impact on homeownership, property market and real estate across Europe and the markets of the UK. The repercussion of such politico-economic factors will be felt years after the decision, in all areas of business and overseas.

The global investors and UK real estate buyers are currently uncertain of the market policies and economic factors affecting the market. 

It is assumed Brexit will bring volatility to the currency market, which will lead to uncertainty over EU relations, raise risks of availability and lead to a shortage of skilled workers and cause delays in decisions related to investments which will adversely hit the markets.

There are questions - How will the professionals move across the continents to gain employment, or how will they operate firms and benefit from taxation for services and goods?

Many related policies are unclear, and people are trying to assess the risks and find the early signs of possibilities in investment. These changes provide several new investment opportunities which some organisations can identify. 

Most UK and European Unions business communities want an early solution to Brexit and a fast negotiation before the EU summit. Ian McCafferty, a member of the Monetary Policy Committee, claims that Brexit has been responsible for low productivity and growth in the UK.

In addition, it has been responsible for companies holding back investment, but some firms are investing, which will benefit them in the future. Several non-EU firms operate from central London, supported by high rental yields and safe returns.

A favourable trend in real estate in the UK is the growth in demand in certain regional markets, the strength of the UK legal system, the initiatives by the government to prevent fraud, and convenient time zones. 

Time To Buy The Most Expensive Rental Properties In The UK 

Housing is an important sector in terms of the economy, and the UK's real estate market forms the most expensive asset class in the world. 

It has a big role in contributing to the economy. The housing sector is still facing a shortage, and foreign investors are still looking for low-cost options in the UK real estate markets, where the prices are stagnant due to the Brexit effects. RICS 2017 (The Built Environment in Figures) reports claim there is a need for 35 per cent growth in construction in the coming decade to meet the needs.

Future trends in UK real estate are based on exit strategies and re-pricing, which will also affect the property market. 

The commercial property sector is undergoing moderate corrections by 5 to 10 per cent, and the industrial estate is performing better than other sectors.

Retailers are adopting online methods and moving from the streets to technology-based platforms to benefit from the current trends. The industrial market is expected to give the highest returns post-Brexit as it is supported by occupational demand and strong investment. 

Post-Brexit, UK housing rates are stable, especially, London prices fell for the first time post-financial crisis, but the prices are equivalent to the inflation levels, while the rate of growth will have an impact on housing prices soon. Further, experts believe the price decline is not very extensive; even in uncertain times, it can recover swiftly in the next five years.
